To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, W XLLIAM S'rnousn and WALTER E. CLARK, citizens of the United States, and'i'esi'dents or" Hughesville, in the county of Lycoming and State of Pennsylvania,-have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bolt-Operating Mechanism, of which the following is a specification.

Uur invention relates to improvements in bolt operating mechanism and While our invention may be of general application it is table slides.

Our invention is illustrated in the accom- I panying drawings in which- 7 Figure 1 is a plan view of parts of the mating slides of an extension table tit-ted with our improvedbolt which is shown in position; Fig. 2 a similar Fig. 3 a modified construction. showing the spring to the right of the bolt which latter is shown partly in section. o

4 and 5 are matingslides of an extension table one of which is adapted to be moved longitudinally of the other. 6 is a boltldar .ried'by one of the slides and adaptedto be seated in a suitable hole in the other slide'in order to prevent any movement of one slide relatively to the other when the bolt is seated. So far the arrangement is Well known.

7 is a rod, carried by and longitudinally movable in keepers 8, one portion 9 of which is bent upward to form a cam which passes through a diagonalhole 1.0 in thebolt 6;

11 is a spring for normally keeping the rod 7 in the position shown in Fig. 1 and the bolt in its lowest or seated position. The

"slide 5 the operator 7 12 or the rod 7 to the right causing the part f9 of the rod to travel through the diagonal hole 10 in the bolt 6 this lifts the.bolt from for the bolt 6 as may Specification of Letters Patent. fipht t d r, 5, 1912, p 1 Application filed July 18, 1911.

Serial No. 639,100. I

binding in the bolt during its movements The spring 11 may either Figs. 1 or 3. v To unseat the bolt from the hole 13 in the pushes the vertical part be arranged as shown in the hole 13 when the slides 4.01 5 may be drawn past one another the desired distance.

There are in the slide 5 as many holes 13 be necessary for various adjustments ofthe'slides and as the bolt comes opposite any one of these holes it is pushed therein by the combined action of the spring 11 and the art 9 of the rod 7.

Having thus descri ed our invention we claim as new and'desire' to Patent I In a bolt operating mechanism, in combination, a bolt with adiagonalperforation;

therethrough, a rod an interior portion of which is bent to form an inclined portion which passes througl'i'said perforation and the end portions of which are at riglitangles to the bolt, keepers upon both sides f'of. said bolt through whichthc end portions of said rodfreely pass, and a spri ngvfor normally holding the inclined portion of said rod so as to keep said bolt in its lowered position.
